About this position

Nanyang Technological University in Singapore is offering a fully funded PhD opportunity in biomedical engineering through the Smith Lab in the School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology.

The project, Engineering the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) for Precision Gene and Therapeutic Delivery, will investigate approaches that combine synthetic biology, viral vectors, and extracellular vesicles. The research is focused on developing engineered blood-brain barrier systems and delivery strategies that may support more precise transport of genes and therapeutic payloads.

The doctoral researcher will work in Prof. Sheena Smith’s Smith Lab, engaging with interdisciplinary methods spanning biomedical engineering, molecular biology, protein biochemistry, biotechnology, and therapeutic delivery. The project provides a research environment at the intersection of biological engineering and advanced biomedical applications.

Funding details

The PhD position is fully funded. No stipend amount or specific tuition coverage details are stated.

What's required

Applicants should hold a BSc, MSc, MTech, or equivalent degree in biochemistry, molecular or cell biology, biotechnology, biological engineering, or a related field. Hands-on experience in molecular biology and protein biochemistry is required, and applicants must meet Nanyang Technological University PhD admission requirements.

How to apply
